French MP appeals EU-US DPF annulment denial

Member of French Parliament Philippe Latombe filed an appeal of the EU General Court decision to reject his original petition for annulment of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Latombe's appeal argues, in part, the U.S. Data Protection Review Court is not an independent tribunal because it was created by presidential executive order and not an act of Congress and U.S. law "does not provide for any general safeguard against automated decision-making."
